The actress retracted the post after drawing some heat from her Twitter followers but she fought back on Thursday explaining in length that it was all a joke.

“OK. To be clear. I believe you should be able to joke and have a sense of humor about everything. And I hate explaining, but just to be clear, I don’t judge people on how they look. Nor do I associate a hair style with sexuality. I myself am bisexual and have always ‘joked’ about Miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an observation. So I ‘joked’ when she cut her hair that it supported my case. But, I am not so close minded or into stereotypes or labeling. It was a joke. I could care less what gender she was attracted to. But don’t hate me for supporting her in whatever she chooses. It’s all fine by me.”

Cyrus, who went viral in both December 2010 and Jan 2011 with leaked girl-on-girl photos, was obviously not offended by the remark. She reached out to Wood to become friends on the site.

Wood added, “Now Miley Cyrus and I are friends. Let this be a lesson to all of you.”
